Honestly there are really good dancers on this planet but I've never seen someone dance like Michael did. Every movement is perfect, comes at the right time and is in tune with music. But there is more than that, something hypnotizing, something beyond technique. When Michael dances he really embodies the music, he becomes music.

I'm dancing because of him and James Brown!!!!

Can't stop loving him.

MJ studied the all time greats, and made each dance move his own. Few artists can say they have that much discipline in the craft. No wonder he's the GOAT. Great video from the detail. Long live the king of pop. 🎉

Of all his talents, his dancing is for me the most outstanding. It’s what made Michael J. Jackson *Michael Jackson* - the GOAT. The Greatest Entertainer of All Time. He had the stamina of an elite athlete and phenomenal balance that were unmatched. And I don’t know if it was intentional, but some of his moves like the stuttering side step, the sneaky crotch grab right before the chorus, or the little skip (don’t know official names!) etc…..you just can’t help but chuckle! He is a TRUE GENIUS in the way he infused humour into his choreography.

Michael Jackson is the best ❤

Nobody can move or do entertain like Mr. Michael Jackson. We love you G.O.A.T.

Love the video!!! I would love to shoutout Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers who helped MJ before the Victory and Bad short film. Particularly helping him elongate the stride of his moonwalk, adding the circle glide and pronouncing the popping in Bad. He has an interview explaining this on KZread somewhere.

Maaan MJ's dance moves are soo legendary that it's still being imitated today. The entire world can identify his signature moves. I don't think there's been an artist in history that's had so many people trying to imitate his looks and dances.. You have artists like Usher, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Ne-Yo and Justin Timberlake who've all tried to incorporate his moves into their repotoire

I enjoyed every moment of this 💜I love how you covered his entire dance history. my personal favourite move is the spin💜

Honestly, MJ is overrated. Many people would outsing him (he was a better singer as a child than as an adult). Many people would also out dance him (if you say no then you must live under a rock and are underexposed to the world of dance). MJ is no genius because most of his signature moves come from other people like Bill Bailey, Jeffrey Daniels, poppin taco, bob fosse, boogaloo shrimp, etc. A true genius wouldnt have 95 percent of signature moves that come from OTHER people. Not to mention the fact that he didnt play any instruments nor did he write all his music. MJ is overrated.

Thanks for these facts. 10/10.

10 years of amazing success! Final 17 years - a nightmare.

The Greatest of All Time

King of the dance floor and master of the stage … he knew how he wanted his moves to look to an audience and executed it them with utmost precision

I used to call the "toe stand" the "Twinkle Toes" because of the Moonwalker intro.

Kicked off the wall era too…

Love your vids and I know this channel is only for MJ but it would be cool if you talked about other artist too. Do you have another channel?

Always the King of Dance ❤

While MJ's dance moves weren't original or unique, he managed to mix and match styles like no other dancer. His signature is the seamless flow of astonishing moves WHILE being able to sing perfectly. To be quite honest, I've always had a hard time determining whether he was more of a singer or a dancer. I guess that's why the best way to describe him was "the entertainer."

Oh why you gotta bring it to my attention that because I learnt to dance through watching Michael I can now only spin to the left

MJ is the best ❤❤❤

I feel the little hop hop kick with the right leg is also another signature dance he does. I'd love to know more of the orgin of that dance move and even the name (if it has one). I've noticed him do it A LOT in songs like "Man in the Mirror", and "Wanna Be Startin Something", and "Heartbreak Hotel". It's one of my favorites that he does!

I used to see it done by people "getting happy" or "getting the Holy Ghost" in church in my childhood. Like I told another commenter on this section, I have not seen that particular move anywhere else but church, so I wondered where Jackson picked it up when I first saw him perform the move.

I would love to know how the Backslide became known as the Moonwalk. Was that Michael's name for it or did someone else come up with the name? Was it known by some dancers as the Moonwalk before the Motown 25 performance? If not Michael, who was the first to call it the Moonwalk? I've never seen or heard of any reviews or discussions of Motown 25, in magazines or on talk shows for example, as I'm sure it was a big talking point, so it would be interesting if anyone has a record of something like this, to see people's reactions to seeing Michael doing it for the first time.

The circle glide was originally called Moonwalk according the Jeffrey Daniels (or another dancer MJ worked with) but MJ swapped the Backslide nane for Moonwalk because it sounded better.

@camaradiop3731

7 ай бұрын

The "moonwalk" was originally known as the BACKSLIDE; I remember that vividly, as my brother did it in a talent show, and I picked it up later, whereas the so-called circle slide is really the MOONWALK, and the "side slide" is really the floater or floating. The white media (hate to sound mean, but it's the truth) picked up the term and didn't bother to see if it was the correct term and ran with it. They CONSTANTLY do this; rap is misnomered as "hip hop", when rap is one of the 9 parts of hip hop; hip hop is the entire 9-part culture; rap is part of the 9-part culture called hip hop. It's immensely exasperating; even blacks are obtusely calling rap hip hop.

Can you make a video about the Anti Gravity Lean?

I Love You Michael Jackson ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

8:34 I knew he was joke but Mike has done a spin to the right before. It may not have multiple but he's done it

Very good king of pop 👍👑💜👍👑👍Michael Jackson love you so much king 👑👍💗👏❤👑👍

For me the hardest one to learn was the Tap Dance. When I first watched Michael in the Black or White: Panther Dance doing that I couldn't even believe it.

Yea I can understand the first time he did the toe stand, he did stumble like he didn’t catch his balance after the spin

The mj kick may have also come from "The lockers" a dance group who invented the pop lock break dancing he'd do from late 70s to mid 80s he's doing one of their routines at 0:12 in this video

@@christaylor7916 huge fan but yes he is overrated im an amateur artist i think the reason why people gravitate at him is because hes a whole circus plus he got a lot of signature things attached to him but not everyone is an mj fan ive been a fan for 9 years I've never met any real core mj fan maybe because im 27 and hes fans are already old. back to the topic mj got this loop that makes him stuck in people's mind ear - his Cathy repetitive music eyes - his visually entertaining through MV and Dance fashion costumes thats it entertainment is sigth and hearing he perfect it both. greatness its debatable millions agree hes great coz his art are easy to digest and mj is like ur unique neighbor who always wear this unique style some hate him some dont but they both know him thats my assumption to mj. believe me 50 years or 30 years from now somebody will reach the same heights and the whole world will act as if that artist is the greatest thing ever

L'unica cosa che si può dire che michael jackson e fenomenale un grande , altri come lui no non ci sono senza togliere nulla ad altri artisti ma michael e tutta un'altra storia che ti lascia colpito ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

There's a lot of dancers right now whos better at MJ technically but what they can't beat is his dancing is his pure expression just like loneliness happiness mj dances like his another natural expression thats my problem with a lot of performers today like in kpop they're just dancing for just the sake of technical aspect

Does anybody know where the footage of 5:23 comes from with the hip hop popping dancing

If Michael Jackson was still alive today i would try to meet him and ask for a hug . I love MJ like he is a brother to me I understood him he was Lonly childish soul . who wants peace on earth I will always love you my dear Michael J i am so proud to be a Moonwalker

Il y a aussi la danse qu'on voit dans le clip de Black or white, lorsqu'il sautille avec un pied. On dirait une danse indienne. Il la dansait souvent. Cette danse a un nom ?

Toe stand was earlier than Motown 25… if you look at mikes shoes from old days (off the wall era) he has laces which he stopped after off the wall era

Where’s the final Jermaine Jackson detail episode ??? Enough already !!! You guys are dragging it out !!!!

the toe stand came from MJ ballet training

To be great you have to study the greats👑🌑🚶🚶🚶🚶 Walker 👍💯.

8:02 when did Micheal talk about this?

Hello how are you the detail I saw your content what are you doing about the king of pop I am also about to upload videos of Michael but in Spanish and I was asking you if we could. Make a collaboration in my moonwalker world and on your channel

Toe stand is a ballet move

Ummm I think the Jeffrey Daniels is slightly inaccurate. Other choreographers of Michael's said he had learned the moonwalk in the late 70s and it was supposed to be done for Don't Stop Til You Get Enough. It sounds like he was looking all over for the perfect "Michael version" but you never know. However those two clips of Jeffrey looks like Michael kept and used those moves in a timely manner. The lean, the mime, the slow circle walk, etc

Didn't mention tap dancing

i think the kick he borrow it with elvis

“As you can see in films from the 1930s”….you mean ballet?

Esse do Elvis não e igual não mj foi o primeiro a fazer o monhalk

So vaine

If u knew that elvis stole his moves from other black artists...why not mention those black artist instead of implying he might have gotten it from elvis
